If so, he's either on the big club or (very likely) claimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Looking into the future 5 years ahead: Bedard (just kidding) Raty Lekkerimaki Silovs D Pettersson Kravtsov Bloom Karlsson Klimovich Johansson Jurmo Not sure I would call Rathbone a prospect, as he is 23 (older than Podkolzin and Hoglander, who aren't really prospects anymore) Jack just isn't good enough to play in the NHL.

Dixon Ward Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Podkolzin Hoglander Raty Klimovich Lekkerimaki Silovs DPetey McDonough Kravtsov Karlsson Jurmo Bloom Forsell That's where I think the team would rank them in terms of trade value around the league. I think Lekkerimaki and Kravtsov have the best chance to make big moves up the rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't make the Canucks as a RHD then I doubt he will make another team. He would have to remain on the NHL roster if claimed and there may be better bets out there.

Dazzle Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 2 hours ago, GB5 said: I don't think any of the prospects has really separated themselves as the overarching favorite. For the best I go with LHD Petey - from accounts I've read he seems to be a solid defender in the Edler-ish mold of being a good puck mover with a solid defensive aptitude. I go with him because he stands to be the one player who likely will play the most NHL games, others may as well but they all have questions amrks or look to be a project of one kind or another. Klimovich, 20 years old, doing well in the AHL? He doesn't stand out for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSVII Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Imagine if you told a Canucks fan in September that we'd have Kratsov and Raty in our system this year, seems like a great injection into the pipeline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a solid prospect but my point is that right now no one really stands out as being heads and tails better than others. Eventually a few names will jump out from the pack but so far no one really has separated themselves. Wait and see, maybe it will be Klimo, could be Lekkerimaki, could be Jurmo...

Probably not, based on NHL seasons/games played. But they’d definitely figure high in any “top-23 under 23” list. Adding Räty, Kravtsov, and Bloom recently has definitely bumped up the quality of our pool of young players. Hopefully we’ll see a few more prospects/young players added before the TDL, a successful draft, and some quality UDFA signings, all combining to elevate our rankings, whether it’s prospects, farm, U23, or U25.

Junkyard Dog Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 We don’t really have any blue chips. Maybe Lekkerimaki if he can prove so. a lot of interchangeable guys could be our #1 prospect. After the draft I think we will get a better picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sample size is too limited to declare a real clear winner He's literally the heads and tails better prospect. The age, the production/progression. If there's anyone who's closest to being NHL ready sooner than others, it's Klimovich. It's honestly not even close. No one else is ready to jump in. Klimovich's shot is absolutely lethal, and so is his skill in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, no one wins when you force your opinions onto others an retaliate with "what" emojis. Simply respect the dialog and have fun. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about an opinion is that it can change. An opinion can also become a fact in due time. All I'm saying is that Klimovich is a fantastic prospect. He may not be a blue chipper in the traditional sense, but he's pretty damn close. Any team would love to have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust his take a lot. Raty would likely fit in anywhere above Silovs. Our two first round picks should impact this list quite a bit. Here's hoping our next best prospect is a future local superstar. This. Faber watches a ton of games and has a good pulse on what's going on with prospects. Curious to what a couple posters around here see that Faber seems to be missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still undisciplined and let's his emotions take over. He was doing better early in the season, but as the fatigue of the season kicks in those bad habits have started up again.

This draft will hopefully change that. People are already writing off an 18 year old Lekkerimaki less than a year after being drafted lol we are a fickle bunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually looked at the list, each of those players in the top four are playing different positions. I agree with his list, but if we're talking about who is the most NHL ready out of them, my point still stands. I'm very impressed with Elias Pettersson 2.0. I think he's a fantastic add.
